ON - The Blue Gingerbread.
This farmhouse with Victorian Gingerbread features is located near Kincardine, Ontario, Canada. This style is similar to those homes built in Ontario called Ontario Cottage and 19th Century Gothic popular around 1920s. Two storey farmhouses became popular in the early to mid 1850s in Ontario.
The white vinyl siding would have been added after the 1950s, my guess, based on the decay, would be the late 1980s. The white siding usually covered wood planks or asphalt shingles, the latter popular in the late 1950s.
I would say the gingerbread decoration is closer to a green or aqua than blue to be honest. I think calling it "blue" was reflective of the mood I felt when looking at this house left to rot. The tree out front is at least 75 years old.
It is clearly abandoned and as you can see fallen into serious disrepair. It appears there is extensive roof damage on the back and the darkness of the interior is an early sign of mould and decay. I'm surprised the windows have survived as long as they have, it's open location and distance from the nearby highway might be factors.
